'Scottish Taxpayer Residency Status' - slightly different to if you pay tax in Scotland you're a Scot.

Fair point Deeranged. Also worth backing up the point that you cannot tax your way to economic growth.

Correct! Politicians spend their waking lives trying to do just that, imo.

Your comment was such an easy target I just thought it merited one more comment.

Tell your friend that he is a Polish person living in Scotland and as a result he is subject to Scottish income tax.

Edit - just not worth it

Deeranged, it is worth it. Islay's comment is the first I have seen for a while that shows an attempt at humour! He doesn't do humour, so I think you must be winning.

It's not, he quoted a post by The AuldYin asking to tell their Polish friend - blah, blah, blah. It's me whose Polish friend is struggling to understand why he's being classed as a Scot just because he pays tax in Scotland.

To his eternal credit though he did say he's grateful that he isn't paying tax in England or even worse - Russia. Imagine being considered as either of those - oooofffff.
